Pretend This Optimization Doesn’t Exist

Programming in the 21st Century - James Hague - January 31, 2012

In any modern discussion of algorithms, there’s mention of being cache-friendly, of organizing data in a way that’s a good match for the memory architectures of CPUs. There’s an inevitable attempt at making the concepts concrete with a benchmark manipulating huge—1000x1000—matrices. When rows are organized…

Programming in the 21st Century - James Hague - January 23, 2012

The Future of CouchDB

Damien Katz - Damien Katz - January 05, 2012

What’s the future of CouchDB? It’s Couchbase. Huh? So what about Apache CouchDB? Well, that’s a great project. I founded it, coded the earliest versions almost completely myself, I’ve spent a huge amount of blood, sweat and tears on it. I’m very proud of it…
